Fibromyalgia Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized, Pilot Clinical Trial to Assess the Comparative Efficacy and Tolerability of Quetiapine XR Versus Amitriptyline for the Treatment of Patients With Fibromyalgia
Quetiapine, a second generation antipsychotic, has shown beneficial activity on fibromyalgia symptomatology, administered as add-on treatment, in a sample of 35 patients. The purpose of the present study is to compare, in a controlled setting, the efficacy and the tolerability of quetiapine extended release with amitriptyline in the treatment of patients with fibromyalgia
